Vivid Overturning,

Although this wasn’t a positive inspiration, the first 24 hours of a post-Roe world is what gave me the spark to paint. When creating this piece, I couldn’t help but think of my son. I love my son and would do anything in my power to keep his life free from worry. That was a choice I was able to choose for myself in the era of Roe.
